Apply alias to Duplicate sensor name

[distributorofpain]

Description

For some reason, guessing cause the board is soo new, the sensor name for the system temp and CPU fan speed are the same when detected. I wanted to alias both with different names but if you put two entries in, you get an error ( this makes sense ). Would like to be able to alias a sensor type or add an option in the alias entry so that you can differentiate between a temp sensor and a fan speed.

For now, i just put a slash in the name....

I think I'm having the same issue, I cannot alias fan1 and temp1 separately, which makes the list unreadable.

Thanks for adding this as an enhancement!

Done in the develop branch.

If a sensors has temperature and fan speed with the same name unit (example foo), it is possible to alias it using:

foo_temperature_core_alias=Alias for temp
foo_fan_speed_alias=Alias for fan speed

By default, the following configuration line will apply the alias name for all:

foo_core_alias=Alias for speed/temp

Hi @nicolargo,

Sorry to comment on this closed ticket.

Is there a way to dissociate 2 sensors with exactly the same names ?

Example :

>>> psutil.sensors_temperatures()
{'acpitz': [shwtemp(label='', current=16.8, high=20.8, critical=20.8), shwtemp(label='', current=16.8, high=20.8, critical=20.8), shwtemp(label='', current=27.8, high=105.0, critical=105.0)], 'nvme': [shwtemp(label='Composite', current=36.85, high=81.85, critical=84.85), shwtemp(label='Sensor 1', current=36.85, high=65261.85, critical=65261.85), shwtemp(label='Sensor 2', current=40.85, high=65261.85, critical=65261.85), shwtemp(label='Composite', current=38.85, high=81.85, critical=84.85), shwtemp(label='Sensor 1', current=38.85, high=65261.85, critical=65261.85), shwtemp(label='Sensor 2', current=45.85, high=65261.85, critical=65261.85)], 'coretemp': [shwtemp(label='Package id 0', current=35.0, high=100.0, critical=100.0), shwtemp(label='Core 0', current=35.0, high=100.0, critical=100.0), shwtemp(label='Core 1', current=32.0, high=100.0, critical=100.0), shwtemp(label='Core 2', current=33.0, high=100.0, critical=100.0), shwtemp(label='Core 3', current=33.0, high=100.0, critical=100.0), shwtemp(label='Core 4', current=33.0, high=100.0, critical=100.0), shwtemp(label='Core 5', current=34.0, high=100.0, critical=100.0)]}

These are 2 strictly identical nvme ssd.

Thanks for the information !!!
